A COVENTRY man has been found guilty of murdering his grandmother in the city.
Sam Croston, 37, inflicted fatal injuries on Pamela Croston, with whom he was living at an address in Everdon Road, in September 2023.
Officers were called after Pamela’s emergency pendant was activated.
When they arrived they found Sam Croston sat near his grandmother, who was injured on the ground.
He was arrested and she was taken to hospital, where she later died from her injuries.
Officers found evidence that he had been using drugs in the property.
A police spokesperson said: “In interview, Croston said he had no memory of the attack, suggesting she had fallen.
“Despite this, it was clear the injuries Pamela had suffered were as a result of a deliberate assault.”
Croston was convicted of murder on Monday (February 24) and will be sentenced at Warwick Crown Court at a later date.
